I’m sure you’ve all heard the expression about “Being in the right place at the right time.”
Recently I had an instance of being in what turned out to be the wrong place at what turned out to be the very right time.
While out on a commercial shoot for a high end landscape design company I had been given directions to a lake house on Lake Winnipesaukee here in New Hampshire. As it turns out the directions were extremely vague, the house wasn’t numbered, it was located on a small unpaved camp road, and the road I was supposed to be on was chained off at one end. Based on the description I was given, “XX number house, on such and such road. New construction, boat house, guest house,” and with a bit of searching, eventually I was pretty sure I found the place.
To make a long story short, I was partially right, the new house and boat house were part of the property. The “guest house” was not(even though the color scheme/style matched the boat house almost exactly).
As Luck would have it the view from the beach and dock at the wrong house was quite spectacular!
*Note: I do not advocate trespassing in order to get a photograph. Regardless of how spectacular the show going on over the lake was at the time, had I known I was on the wrong property at the time I would have left to look for a view from the correct property.
Nice storm photo.
Wow! There’s such drama in that sky. Getting lost turned out to be fortunate. I hope you found the right place soon after though.
Interesting …and yes, lovely shots from the ‘wrong’ place!! Ha, ha.
Oops! Stunning ‘mistake’ however!
Awesome photos, even if you were in the wrong place!!!
What good fortune–the back/internal-lighting of the thunderhead is spectacular!
Thanks! It was quite a show, one i was glad I was able to capture.
